Dear Yelp, Visited…read morehere last night for a school sponsored snow tubing event. Lines were long, my daughter and her friend got in maybe 5 runs in an hour and 20 minutes which seemed like a decent amount. She loved it and said it was a lot of fun and wants to return in the next few days before it closes for the season. However, the one staff member I interacted with at the entrance to the snowtubing left a bitter taste in my mouth. He was not kind, polite or helpful. He seemed annoyed to even have to explain how anything works. I'm sure it's overwhelming, but he just seemed really unhappy to be working. There is ample parking. Love, Nicole

Not enough lockers for everyone, not even a designated area to pay for someone to look after your stuff. Best to go with family and someone to guard your stuff. The coin lockers did not work. Maybe it was the day we went on Presidents day but it was crowded. And the magic carpet stopped and started with no warning so you may face plant into your snow tube if you're not careful. Due to the crowded, only able to go tubing maybe 5 runs. Ultimately a place great for kids ....

The conveyor belted ramp helps us save our energy as pulling the rubber tube up required one. It was not that high when i reached the top - was very deceiving looking from the bottom. The ramp has about 6 lanes so the line moves so fast. The staff was nice and giving each tuber a good push. There is an option to dive to your tube. The slope was slanted and curving up at the end so everyone automatically stopped. A waiver needs to be signed before paying the $15 admission fare. They gave a tag that is required to wear. It shows that you were given access climbing up to the top. I heard that each rider is allowed to come up and down as many times as he want within the two hour time frame. We get bored at round 4. Kids will definitely enjoy it. Doesn't need to be staying in one of the resort villas to be in. Free parking is available . There is a restaurant by the ticket window that anyone can hang out before it after the tube run. A good place to visit when in the area.

We spent $200 to wait for 30 minutes to go down once. It's clear that they just wanted to pack as many people as they could onto the hill, regardless of how long the wait times would be. We paid for 2 hours of tubing, but we stayed for one ride, which was a 30 minute wait, so we would MAYBE get to go down the hill 4 times, if we were lucky. Couldn't even be bothered to wait to go down again, it was so not worth it. If they're actually following the 50% capacity requirement now I can't even imagine what the wait times would be like at full capacity. Total rip-off. Save your money and your time, and go somewhere else to snow tube.

Check out Plattekill, Belleayre, Jiminy Peak, Butternut, Thunder Ridge in the area instead for more family friendly fun easy going experience. I've never been to a ski place with so many slopes filled with people stopped in place or falling all around! There seemed to be so many people skiing there who never had lessons but are still on the blue slopes. The left side of the mountain is filled with snowboarders. I was in super busy lift line with probably 95% snowboarders - mostly young young guys. First time I went there I ended up in a terrain park that had not much space on either side of the jumps. I was terrified one of the teenagers or 20 some things would go way too fast and jump on me or my kids! So many snowboarders on the mountain also means a lot of snow being pushed around the slopes so more mogul type on every slope lol. I find it a very scary crowded place for families esp with small children learning. The main lodge is far too crowded on the weekend. Think Rockefeller Plaza during the holidays. There's another lodge where you can eat also, it's at the bottom of the left side of the mountain where the terrain parks are. The one star is for the sauerkraut hotdog which was pretty good. Make sure to book the $20 parking at the front online - it's worth it! We never did it, fully booked so ended up walking crazy far with our ski gear ski boots on. We don't mind walking like that normally at most resorts, but this one is a big no. I felt done before starting skiing. For absolute beginner lessons, smallest children, this place might be OK. And there's a place to sit outside if it's not too cold out that overlooks the learning area where you can get drinks and sometimes there's a DJ. The staff at the lift chairs were excellent though. They seemed to be watching carefully and helping more than other area resorts!

It was ideal for our intentions. We brought our kiddo up here to try out skiing for the first time. We got private lessons for all of us but in hindsight, I think it's best to just have your child do the lesson on their own if you don't really require any for yourself, so that the instructor can focus on the child, and the child can focus on themself. There's plenty of space nearby where you can observe while also not being a distraction. We ended up just going up and down the bunny slope while she was having her lesson. That was kind of a waste of money on our part. As for the instruction, I was not too keen on it. Maybe because the instructor was younger and perhaps not used to smaller children. I wish it was an older instructor, maybe someone with their own kids, that could have better helped our kiddo understand what was being asked of her. The instructor kept asking her to move her feet in a certain way that was confusing for her, causing her to have trouble understanding how her feet should move for the "pizza pie" and "French fry" positions - IYKYK I feel like someone more seasoned, that perhaps has their own children, would go about the instruction with a different approach. The instructor brought our daughter up the conveyor belt and down the bunny hill a few times and I could see that our kid did not grasp the fundamentals before doing the hill. I almost wish that I would have just taken her up there on my own but it had been so long that I wasn't confident in myself to take on the task, until after I went down a few times myself, then it felt like second nature. Ultimately, I wanted her first experience to be fun so that she would want to do it again and again. I feel like because the whole experience was hard to grasp and felt like work, when the lesson was over, she was kind of defeated. My kid is courageous, so it's not an issue of being scared. She is just like us, where she enjoys a thrill and will try anything once, even if she's a little bit scared. This was a perfect opportunity to have her experience skiing and hopefully love it but the lesson did not go as planned and afterwards, she just wanted to leave. We talked her into resting a bit. I went up on a green hill by myself, while hubby took her to warm up and have a snack. They have woodfire pizza and the regular cardboard snacks on hand. It looks like they also have other food truck offerings on busier days. The pizza was great. The other food they offer is exactly what you'd expect in a cardboard snack: previously frozen burgers, fries, watered-down soups, chili. Their curly fires were OK, but the chicken noodle soup tasted like not so flavorful water and soft noodles from a used Campbell's can. After our brief snack, she decided she wanted to try the hill again, but wanted to go down the hill with me. I was delayed getting my skis because another visitor must have mistaken my skis for their, and removed them, so I had to go back and get another set. I'm happy there was no issue with that. She did go down the hill again and definitely was done with skiing at that point. Partially the fault of my husband and partially the fault of the conveyor operator. If I could have filmed her, she would have looked like a pro until she reached the bottom. Luckily, she did not get hurt but she did get the crap scared out of her with that downhill ride. She cried, we made sure nothing was broken and then we drove a ways to Mountain Creek for snow tubing, as the tubing hill at Mt. Peter was not in operation during our visit. We'll probably be back, without lessons and only get rentals and lift tickets, and hopefully convince our Little to enjoy the sport in the future.

There is trash everywhere. Truly everywhere. Many people don't bother using the trash bins and instead leave their garbage behind for someone else to deal with. Public spaces and facilities aren't treated with much care; we saw gum, trash, and random items tossed into the gas fire pits, and people taking selfies often seemed to take priority over respecting others' personal space. We were fortunate to have rented a condo outside the resort, but the behavior we encountered at the resort itself was very similar, plus a few additional moments we could have done without, including someone blowing their nose into their bare hand and whipping it onto the floor. My family and I are doing the 50‑state challenge, and we chose Camelback Mountain as our Pennsylvania destination. Had we realized how close it was to NYC, we likely would have picked somewhere else. The mountain is beautiful, and the resort has a lot of potential, but they were out of almost everything across the property. On‑site restaurants had limited availability, and the posted hours weren't accurate. There's also very little to do outside the resort at this time of year. I'd recommend skipping the "largest general store in the country", the condition of their petting zoo alone will have you wanting to start an animal rescue.

This is a great place for beginners! LOTS of green beginner slopes to try out. However, it's a…read morepopular spot and tends to be VERY crowded... That said, I recommend you get here as early as possible if you plan to rent equipment!! It's also very helpful to reserve your gear and lift tickets ahead of time. That will make the gear check out process a bit easier/faster. We arrived around 1pm, and stood in a ridiculously long line to get our gear... All in all, we spent a little over an hour and a half just waiting for our gear. We were pretty annoyed by this, so if you're looking to spend more time on the slopes, get here EARLY!!! Parking is free, but also very difficult to find the later you get here... So keep that in mind as well. They have lockers all over the premises to lock up your things. You'll have to pay to rent them and I believe the only option is to pay for the whole day. Regarding crowdedness... There were really long wait times at the ski lifts, which was very annoying and often frustrating. I get that they have upgraded systems that scan our lift tickets each time we ride, however it created a lot of chaos regarding the lines. I was not a fan. Also, the number of people who were just SITTING in the middle of the slopes, blocking the way was incredibly annoying and also dangerous. There were a LOT of people doing this... I get that it can be scary going down the slopes, especially if it's your first time, however MOVE TO THE SIDE if you're not planning on going anywhere. To end on a brighter note, we were surprised to discover that they offer night skiing here! So arriving later in the day didn't affect us too much as we continued skiing until after 7pm. As beginners, we only needed about 3-4 hours of ski time so it worked out great for us! Not sure if we would come back here or not, but we're definitely glad we tried it out at least once!

So, I packed up my kids, and mind you, I live on Long Island, so it was quite a long drive. Finally, we arrived, and to my disappointment, there was barely any snow on the ground. When I tried to sign up for lessons, they informed me they were short on instructors, and my kids would have to wait at least 2 hours to get a skiing lesson. I was shocked when I spoke with Rick (I made sure to ask for his name) and he suggested that my children could just take skis and try to teach themselves by going up and down the beginners' hill. I was tempted but then another parent, who was facing similar issues, warned me that it was a foolish idea and not safe for the kids. Any fall could easily result in an injury. Feeling frustrated, I decided to look for alternatives, and that's when I found another ski resort nearby, Mt Peter. I packed up my children once again and drove the 45 minutes to Mt Peter. Let me tell you, it's like night and day. They were extremely professional with plenty of instructors available to guide and teach my children. They are having a blast with lots of snow, unlike West Point, and there are plenty of people of all ages here making it feel inviting. When I mentioned my West Point experience to others at Mt Peter, they couldn't help but laugh and basically said that place is a joke, and the manager there is clueless. Unfortunately, I have to agree with their assessment.

We also went to one of the snowtubing sessions. It was the first time for my kids and everyone had a great time. Be sure to try linking snowtubes with a bunch of people. It makes you go down twice as fast and much more exciting! It was a bit crowded though so be prepared to wait in line and avoid bumping into others on the ski trail. Would definitely come back for another family outing or to progress the kids' skiing. It's not Vail, but it's reliable, approachable, and feels like a classic local hill done right. Recommended for beginners, families, or anyone wanting a low-key ski day without the big crowds and prices of the larger mountains.

If you're an absolute beginner, it isn't a bad introduction to the world of snow sports. It's a small "mountain" and therefore very beginner friendly. They have a completely closed off area on one side that is entirely for beginners with conveyor lifts, very gentle and short slopes, and a short chairlift. There are also two green trails on the mountain designated as "slow skiing areas," though they might want to police them better as there were still several daredevils blasting by us. The whole process for rentals and lessons is a well-oiled machine and easy to navigate. My 11-year-old son had never been skiing or snowboarding before and was anxious to try. So this seemed like a logical spot to bring him. I had been here plenty of times as a kid in the 90's, but this was my first time back in decades. We came on a Sunday in March and arrived at 7:30. It was already crowded with cars and people at that point but we still got a good parking spot and picking up rental equipment was no problem. My son enjoyed his snowboarding lesson and was loving how quickly he was learning. I bought a lift pass for me + helmet rental, and a beginner package for him (this included snowboard/helmet rental, one hour lesson, and restricted lift ticket). All together this was $293, which seems wildly overpriced for the mountain we were on, especially considering my son was stuck to the beginner area all day unless we upgraded his lift ticket. But I guess this price is common in the skiing industry these days, and I hate to think what the big mountains out west are charging. If you're an experienced skier/snowboarder and live close by, it's probably not a bad place to get in a quick fix. As an experienced skier myself, it was a pleasant day on the slopes, but got a little boring after awhile. If I'm going to pay an arm and a leg, fight hordes of people all day, and drive for a few hours to get there, I'd rather do so on a bigger and more challenging mountain.

We finished our meal and hiked back up the mountain arriving at 5, to discover that the lift was shutting down for the night. The operator said someone should've told us that it stops running at 430. Initially, he said he could take one of us back down in his 2 seater vehicle and the rest of us would have to hike back. But then he decided to radio to base who advised they would have someone drive the 3 of us together. The operator waited with us until our driver arrived. The driver was a very nice police officer who gave us a lot of info about Blue Mountain, and even volunteered to be our photographer. Despite the snafu, we all said we would come back. 8/10
